From Castello delle Serre, simply take the motorway in the direction of the A1 and Perugia. Exit at Sinalunga, drive through Torrita di Siena and proceed to Montepulciano. We suggest using one of the pay parking areas, by the Porta al Prato and the church of Sant’Agnese, outside the ancient walls of the town.

Montepulciano is one of our favorite hill top towns as it offers something for everyone. History and architecture, quality shopping and excellent wine production all take place here.
